Application of reduced graphene oxide-based actuators for real-time chemical sensing of liquid and vapour phase contaminants

Abstract

Real-time detection of contaminants dissolved in a liquid medium is critical for various technological and industrial operations. Here, we are demonstrating the possibility of employing reconstructed layered materials-based responsive membranes...

A comparative study of reduced graphene oxide synthesized through different techniques for UV-C radiation detection application

“…There are various applications of rGO such as in nano-electronics, super-capacitors, transparent conductors, sensors, energy storage cells, and actuators [14][15][16][17][18]. Among various applications of rGO, UV photon detection in the wavelength range of 100-280 nm is the one which has been less explored [19].…”

Light and solvent-driven actuator of clay and vanadium pentoxide nanosheets

“…The development of materials responding to minute changes in their surrounding environments like heat, 1,2 light, 1,3-5 humidity, [6][7][8] liquids, 9,10 and chemical vapor 7,[11][12][13] by changing their characteristics like size, 14 shapes, 2,7,11,12 and color 15,16 is considered a matter of great importance in advanced technologies. To facilitate fast, accurate, and specific responsiveness in artificially intelligent systems such as artificial muscles, soft robots, actuators, and programmable devices, researchers are working on developing responsive materials with explicit characteristics tailored to specific applications.…”
